Real Madrid rejects Barcelona's bid for Angel di Maria.

The world would be surprised if they agreed. UCL Champions, Real Madrid has turned down Spanish giants, Barcelona’s bid to sign their winger Angel di Maria for £48m. The offer was instantly rejected by Madrid president, Florentino Perez.
The 26 year-old has been on many clubs’ radar ever since he requested to leave the Catalans after failing to agree new terms on his current contract. One of such clubs is PSG who later called time on their pursuit because he was too expensive. The Argentine has reportedly told Manchester United’s new signing, Rojo that he wants a move to the England club.

Stephen Keshi may not return as Super Eagles coach

According to reports, Stephen Keshi may not return as Head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The reason however isn’t far-fetched, the NFF is yet to agree with his new contract and salary demands.
The former Super Eagles player whose contract ended on June 30 told BBC Sport, “Talks over a new contract shouldn’t drag on. I can’t wait any more – the NFF is not serious. I have moved on. I can only wish the country well for the future. I’ve had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away.”

“There’s a game in two weeks [Nations Cup qualifier against Congo] but no-one is thinking about it and at the same time they expect you to win. I understand the ongoing crisis facing the federation but the national team should not suffer from such at this crucial stage. Sadly, I also think attention is focused more on the upcoming NFF elections and the national team is simply not a priority.”
He also talked about offers from other countries.

“I’ve had about seven countries approach me in the last two months but I kept them all away. I love my country and I am aware of the dream our fans had of me taking this team to the next level. While acknowledging the efforts of some people involved in the negotiation, I think others probably have other important things to do.”
